“We anticipate the project will be complete by end of December, with final roadway paving taking place at the end of construction,” Rieder said.

To facilitate the work, periodic traffic lane closures will be required during working hours, Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., between November 9 and December 18. Traffic will continue to be maintained through the Evans Road and Wells Road intersection, although drivers should expect delays during active construction periods, Rieder said.

Depending on the stage of work, traffic impacts could include lane reductions and single-lane alternating traffic, with traffic control personnel on site to help direct vehicles and maintain safe traffic flow. Traffic message boards have also been installed in advance of the work to alert motorists to upcoming delays.

Residents in the immediate area have received notification letters about the project and anticipated impacts.
